I am very interested in the Software Data Analyst position at GE. Currently, I am a graduate student at Mccombs School of Business majoring in business analytics. I believe my previous experience in consulting and leadership roles have prepared me well for this position.
Prior to attending Mccombs, I acquired a diverse set of analytical and client interaction skills working across multiple industries in an entrepreneurial environment in Mu Sigma. I thrived in the innovative and collaborative culture which focused more on learning than knowing. As a business analyst, I developed datamarts for retail and financial companies, synthesizing data based on complex business rules. For a pharmaceutical client, I developed a potential-workload balance algorithm to optimize the sales force alignment, increasing profitability by 30%. Working with data, I have sharpened my quantitative and analytical skills, with the ability to take loosely defined business questions and translating them into clear, actionable insights. Demonstrating competence to quickly learn complex businesses and provide quality work under tight deadlines has earned me multiple recognitions at the workplace.
During my tenure at ZS Associates, I developed the core competencies needed to succeed in a rigorous, team oriented environment. I worked closely with senior management assisting executives at Fortune 100 pharmaceutical companies to optimize the established copay program and implement multi brand tracking to maximize profitability. I also performed physician targeting and segmentation for an orphan drug market utilizing claims and affiliation databases, enabling efficient analysis of physician receptivity.
I am adept in
